FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Big Kenny Announces Digital Release of ‘Cry With You’

Join Big Kenny and Become an Ambassador of Love This Monday on The Baub Show

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Feb. 15  /PRNewswire/ — Big Kenny launches record label, Glotown, in an effort to make music that changes lives. Glotown’s first online single, “Cry With You,” will debut today on The Baub Show (http://www.TheBaubShow.com).

Just weeks after the disaster in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, leaving thousands without a home or family, Country’s own Big Kenny headed to the Caribbean island on Jan. 20 in hopes of finding his close friend and mentor Walt Ratterman, CEO of SunEPI, who was there to campaign renewable energy in Health Clinics throughout the country and went missing after the quake. Ratterman’s remains were found last Sunday. Click here to see Big Kenny’s four-part interview upon returning from Haiti: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNgAWprRmj13GzV-4m9LLUQ

In celebration of Ratterman’s life, Big Kenny and Glotown are donating all proceeds above the $1 track price directly toward the Love Everybody Fund of The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee at the request of the many fans who have reached out wanting to help.

Big Kenny’s single, “Cry With You,” will be released for sale today on the websites (http://www.BigKenny.tv and http://www.Glotown.tv) and includes talent from the First String Orchestra directed by Carl Marsh, Better Than Ezra’s Kevin Griffin and Travis McNabb and kind words by Senator Bill Frist, to name a few.

Big Kenny will join host and Internet radio sensation Bob Merrick and co-host Jessie McNamara (star of Me and My Bus) on The Baub Show Monday night at 7 p.m. PST to talk about this compassionate project and efforts to rebuild Haiti.
